A semiconductor device having an offset-gate structure, which can achieve a release of an electric field concentration and a lowering a transistor resistance at the same time. A semiconductor device has the offset-gate structure in which an offset region, at which a gate portion is not formed, is formed between an end of the gate portion and a drain on a silicon substrate. Surfaces of a source, the drain and a gate electrode of the gate portion are silicides to reduce a transistor resistance. Whereas a surface of the offset region formed between the gate portion and the drain does not include silicide. to prevent a potential of an end portion of the gate portion from being identical to a potential of the drain due to silicide. Therefore, it can achieve a release of an electric field concentration and a lowering a transistor resistance at the same time.

A floating gate of a semiconductor memory device has a gate bird beak on an end portion thereof. Further, a positional relationship between the floating gate and a drain is controlled such that a depletion layer formed within the drain in a non-selected state of the semiconductor memory device faces the gate bird beak without interposing the drain therebetween. Accordingly, drain disturbance can be efficiently prevented.

An N-type epitaxial layer is formed on a p-type silicon substrate. Four N+ regions (diffusion regions used as electrodes) are formed in the N-type epitaxial layer. An insulation layer having a fixed depth is formed around each of the N+ regions on a principal surface of an epitaxial layer. The insulation layer restricts a current path region formed between the N+ regions. Side surfaces of the N+ regions are covered by the insulation layer. The N+ regions are brought into contact with the epitaxial layer by a bottom surface exposed from the insulation layer.

A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device includes a semiconductor substrate having a source, a drain, and a channel region between the source and the drain. The channel region has a first end portion near the drain, a second end portion near the source, and a middle portion between the first and second end portions. The first and second end portions having approximately same width. The memory device is electrically erased by using a hot carrier generated in the first end portion due to avalanche breakdown. The channel region includes a first channel extending from the drain and a second channel adjacent to the first channel. An impurity concentration of the second channel is higher than that of the first channel. An interface between the first and second channels is located in the middle portion between the first and second end portions.
